SFNAZ Devotional – 12/15/2022

Snow.  For the last two weeks we’ve had a seemingly endless supply of it!  It’s beautiful, lending an almost ethereal quality to everything it covers.  There’s a peace I experience as I look out my window and see the valley below snuggled in the white blanket of nature. But then I look out the other window and see Rusty in an uphill battle to stay ahead of clearing out snow from our half-mile long driveway so we don’t become marooned…

Saul Meets Jesus

A few days ago, I was doing my devotions starting with 1 Thessalonians.  It started with Grace and Peace to you.  Then I started wondering how many of Paul’s Epistles start with Grace, Peace, or Mercy.  All the first chapters of Paul’s letters start with Grace, Peace, or Mercy within the first seven verses.  Most within the first 3 verses.  The natural thing to wonder is how many end with Grace, Peace, or Mercy. All of them except Romans &…

FOLLOWING CHRIST’S EXAMPLE 

Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus. Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it…

The Bible

To help me in this devotional I had to get my mom’s Bible out. It’s never too far away. This Bible was given to my mom in 1952. I have 2 pictures in the Bible. Both pictures are Black and white. One is of Mom with this Bible. The other one is of Dad and Mom, and they are both Christians. It’s a big deal to have this picture. It was always supposed to be my Bible, but my oldest…

A Way to Look at God

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”   Prov. 3:5-6 When GOD solves our problems, we have faith in HIS abilities. When GOD doesn’t solve our problems, HE has faith in our abilities. God’s accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs. Those of the canary in 14 days; those of the barnyard hen in 21 days; eggs of…

From Knowing It to Living It

Beginning with Romans 12 Paul begins explaining the practical application to truth revealed in ch.1-11. Faith in Christ is the pathway to righteousness. Circumcision of the heart by the Spirit is the real mark of belonging to God & a member of His family. The line of the covenant is by election, not heritage, through God’s call, not works. Righteousness that leads to holiness which assures us of eternal life is God’s gift to all who believe, & completely trust…

Pastoral Devotional – May 19, 2022

A few years ago, Eric Whitacre, a famous classical composer, conducted a fun little experiment. He wrote a song and posted the sheet music on his blog inviting people around the world to sing the various harmonies. His idea was for individuals to sing into a camera and post their videos on YouTube. Using those posts, he created a master track where he joined the videos together like an orchestra. He hired a video recorder to weave all the videos…

Be Still

It is Saturday, and as I write this devotional-the second one.  It’s kind of like last week. I had a sermon all written out for Sunday and the Holy Spirit is telling me this isn’t the sermon I want you to do.  Ok, I get this.  It happens to all Preachers, but now it’s Friday morning.  I did have things running through my brain so that did make the new sermon much easier.  These kinds of sermons are the best.…
